Valentines Day... and then some!

 Can I jut say that having kids really makes holidays so much more fun! 

Little Hema was supposed to bring a box to school for his Valentines. He wanted an alligator mouth one. Of course my sweet husband was sure we could easily make one - I wasn't so sure. So when I saw this pinata at the party store, I quickly asked Little Hema what he thought and he loved it. I think we saved ourselves a lot of time and frustration for $9! Here he is with his valentines box and some of the candy leis for his classmates. I made 33 of those leis for his class party! 

I had seen so many cute heart hair dos all over the Internet last year and thought I'd try one out on Vela. Somehow, I never got a picture of it yesterday so here are a couple of the hearts in her hair I took pictures of this morning. I can't wait until Cora has enough hair to do fun things with! 

 Looking a little fuzzy this morning! 

My parents came by to visit and Hema and I took them up on their offer to watch the kids while went went out to lunch. Thanks mom and dad!!! 

 Then later these two love birds stopped by for a Valentines visit! 

 Cora has been pretty sad since she is teething the past couple of days, but she put on her happy face and showed off all sorts of fun tricks for them. 

 She giggled, laughed, jumped, climbed, clapped, threw toys, played peek a boo, crawled, stood up and bounced around on her knees! She had no interest in holding still for pictures!

 Beautiful girl! 

Valentines is Vela's birth sister, Leiana's birthday. She turned 5 yesterday! We went to Incredible Pizza with them last week and had a lot of fun.  

 I had to post this picture of Leiana because how sweet is Vela's jumping dance move in the background!!

Vela loved Alysha, Chelise's new baby that is just 2 months younger than Cora. 

Honestly this is the best picture I got of Leiana and Vela together.

Vela with Chelise, her beautiful birth mother. 

And just for fun here are a couple of hats Hema made recently. In his reading class a Dr Seuss Hat

And for the 100th day of school this one

That ended up being a long post!
